Tie FIRE upon the hearth is low
Aud there II stiffness everywhere
Like troubled spirits, here and there
The freight shadows iluttering 20
Aud as the shadows round me creep,
A CHILDISH treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from a further room
Genes; "Now lay me down to sleep"
And, somehow, with that little pray'r
Anc that sweet treble Ia my ears,
My thoughts go back to distant years
And fingers with dear one there;
And as hear my child's amen,
My mothers faith comes back to me-
Crouched at her side seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
oh, for an hour in that dear place
oh, for the peace OF that dear time -
oh, for that childish trust sublime -
Oh, for a glimpse Of mothers fscel
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
do not seem tn be alone
Sweet magic OF that treble tone,
And "Now | lay me down to sleepi"

When he had ended the old man eater
slowly arose, and throwing off everything
but waistcloth, he bounded across the room
and addressed the court, saying:

Catarrh to Consumption.
CURA SOAP

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next
to and undoubtedly leads on to consumption.
IL is therefore singular that those afflicted
with this fearful disease should not make 1t
the object of their lives to rid themselves of
1t. Deceptive remedies cOncOcted by ignorant
pretenders to medical knowledge have weak
ened the confidence of the great majority of
sufferers in all advertised remedies. They
become resigned to a life of misery rather
than torture themselves with doubtful pallia-
tives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be
met at every stage and cOmbatted with all our
might. In many cases the disease has as
sumed dangerous symptoms. The bones and
cartilage Of the nose, the organs of hearing,
of seeing and of tasting so affected as to be
useless, the uvula so elongated, the throat so
intamed and irritated as to produce "A con-
slant and distressing cough.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every
phase of Catarrh, from simple head cold to
the most loathsOme and destructive stages
Ii is local and constitutional. Instant in re-
heving, permanent in curing, safe. economical
